Serial ATA Connectors: SATA_0 ~ SATA_3

SATA_0 ~ SATA_3 are high-speed SATA II interface ports and support SATA II data
rates of 300MB/s. Each SATA II connector can connect to 1 hard disk device and is
fully compliant with Serial ATA 2.0 specifications.

Serial Attached SCSI Connectors: SAS_0 ~ SAS_3

The SAS connector is a new generation serial communication protocol for devices
designed to allow for much higher speed data transfers. It supports data transfer
speeds up to 3 Gbit/s. SAS uses serial communication instead of the parallel method
found in traditional SCSI devices but still uses SCSI commands for interacting with
SAS devices. Each SAS connector can connect to 1 disk drive.
